Menus
Lunch includes 5 components: Meat/Meat alternate, grain, vegetable, fruit, milk. Students must select at least 3 of the 5 components, with one being a fruit or vegetable.
IMPORTANT ALLERGY INFORMATION
Most of our fresh bakery products such as bread and rolls will CONTAIN SESAME starting January 3, 2023.
If your child has an allergy to sesame please reach out to Jean Ecker for available menu options.
Due to manufacturer and delivery delays, we regret to inform you that from time to time we will need to change our menu. We do anticipate shortages to continue throughout the school year, which will continue to cause menu changes. We are doing everything we can to try to provide our students favorite meals. We appreciate your patience.
FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES MAY BE SUBSTITUTED FOR THE MENUED FRUIT OR VEGETABLES AS NECESSARY DUE TO VENDOR SHORTAGES. Apples and Oranges may be substituted for the fruit of the day. Vegetables in the same subgroup will be substituted whenever possible.
Future menu changes will be posted above throughout the school year.
Student Lunch Accounts
Please do NOT set up weekly spending limits on Lunch Accounts. If you would like to add spending limits to meal accounts please set up Daily Limits - they do work well. We encourage the use of prepaid accounts for students.
We do accept cash at the registers, however, we recommend that Students Meal Accounts are funded with a check or credit card. You may mail checks, made out to “Three Village Cafeteria Fund” to 100 Suffolk Ave. Stony Brook NY 11790 or send them in with your child. Please include your children’s names and the amount for each child. Cash should not be mailed. To fund the account with a credit card log on to MySchoolBucks.com (please note they do charge a $2.75 processing fee)
Positive and negative account balances remain on student accounts into the next school year. For graduating seniors and students leaving the district families may transfer balances to a sibling in district, donate the funds to a student in need or request a refund within two months of the date of withdrawal/graduation.
